Zombie Shooting Gallery Thoughts at the gun show.
« on: October 08, 2012, 08:51:25 AM »
What were your thoughts about our zombie shooting gallery?

We had some issues with overheated guns. Live and learn.

Just FYI we shot 45000 rounds in 2 days.

Broke 8 guns.

I thought it was a great thing to have. Airsoft is a great market to target. Maybe perhaps add reactionary targets like Larue?

my boy loved it.  pop up targets?  or paper targets on a pulley that you can pull towards the shooter?

The Osama target in the back was a mover but it was manual. We didn't have a dedicated puller
Next time we will try to motorize it. 

We need an idea how to build a cheap but reliable
Forward moving target.  Ideas or help is always welcome.

By the way, good job.  And thank you.  Lots of people talking about this.  Many of my FB friends were asking about it.

On Saturday, the alien head was cut down by some kids.  I was able to get some skewers from the kitchen and made a temporary repair, but the next kids up cut the head down again.  It lasted maybe 5 minutes.  I didn't bother after that..  :(

Them kids are doing it right. if a headshot won't stop em then literally take off the head so at least they can't bite ya.

I was surprised no one from 2A came for the 30 free passes.

Hey, Dex, another thing I thought of was maybe the guys could have a few more guns to shoot other than just AR's and AK's. The P90 would've been fun..

@hnl.flyboy - Maybe you guys can stop by the shop and talk to Phil and Ernie?  You can also see more of thes stuff we didn't/couldn't bring.  :thumbsup:

Bota-CS1, thanks! Also, welcome to the forum!

I used to play airsoft a bit, but not anymore. Thanks for the offer, but I don't have the time to play airsoft anymore.. Don't even have time to play with my .22's, much less my AR's. I was the X-Ring guy at the zombie range on Saturday. I suggested other guns because I was asked a couple times if there was anything to shoot other than the AR or AK. Might lead to more customers next time! ;D

Cool, I'll let  them know.  It was good working the range with yah on Sat.  I had a few guys ask about gas blow back guns, so  that might be something else to look at too.

Originally I asked them for a variety of AS Guns.  That way people can open their eyes that they are not just toys but excellent training tools.

Just give less rounds or do a combo deal shoot some gbb and electric. 

We will sit down before the next gun show and spice it up.
